Wittenberg Football Assistant Coach Al Logan (2004-05)

Bio

Al Logan became Wittenberg's offensive coordinator in 2004, and the offense he installed that year extended the Tigers' run as one of the most prolific units in all of small college football.

Wittenberg averaged more than 40 points and 450 yards per game in 2004, ranking among the best in the NCAC and NCAA Division III. The Tigers were tremendously balanced, with an almost perfectly even distribution of yards between the passing game and the running game.

Logan was a four-year letterwinner for Muskingum College in football as an offensive lineman and in wrestling, and he was team captain in both sports. As a wrestler, Logan won more than 100 matches in his career and won the Ohio Athletic Conference championship in 1981 and 1982. He was selected Outstanding Wrestler of the 1982 OAC championship meet and was a two-time All-America in the sport. He graduated from Muskingum in 1982.

Logan started his coaching career at Miami University in 1982 as an assistant wrestling coach. After earning a master's in physical education from Miami, he served as defensive backs coach and assistant track and field coach at John Carroll University in 1983-84.

From 1984-98, Logan held numerous jobs at The University of South, serving as head coach of the football, wrestling and track and field teams at various times. While there, Logan coached seven NCAA track and field qualifiers, three of whom went on to earn All-America honors, and 76 all-conference athletes. He was named Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Football Coach of the Year in 1991 and 1992, and he was defensive coordinator for teams that won conference titles in 1990 and 1992 while ranking in the top 10 nationally in total defense.

In 1998, he moved to Davidson University. In 1998, Logan implemented the spread option offense that helped Davidson to a school-record five straight winning seasons (1998-2002). He was offensive coordinator for two seasons and recruiting coordinator from 2000-03.

Logan and his wife, Patti, have two sons, Nick and Cam. They reside in Springfield.
